ATM Piggy Bank

It’s never too early to teach kids about the value of saving money. And how about teaching them this in a fun way with their very own ATM bank at home.

This ATM “piggy bank” is very high tech— fit for the children of today. It works just like a real ATM machine: it looks like one and it functions like one. Your child makes his own 4 digit code to operate it. It accepts both bills and coins, too! Then, it tracks their savings. What a fun way to save money.

Hamper Hoops by Wham-O

Whoever designed this, must be a parent.

The Hamper Hoopsis a basketball hoop and a laundry hamper in one! Who would have thought? The hoop has a laundry bag in it so that your child can just throw laundry into the hoop and straight into the laundry basket. Ingenious.

Hopefully, there will be no more laundry lying around the bedroom with this present!

Here’s a video review of the hamper hoops by Nick and Shane from the As Seen on TV Blog

Gamer Kid T-Shirt For Christmas

Do you have a tween who loves to play video games? Why not give him a funny Christmas shirt?

This one says, “I just want to play video games all day, eat lots of chocolate and wait for Santa to give me presents”!

So forget about ugly Christmas shirts. This holiday, he can wear this shirt instead — and one that he would very much like to wear! Check it out Here

Ultimate Spy Tools

Oh how fancy the spy toys are nowadays. And this Ultimate Spy tools will not disappoint the wannabe spy in your house.

This spy set includes a micro ear light (for seeing in the dark), invisible ink pen (for writing secret messages), motion alarm (detects any motion), micro listener (for listening from a distance) and an adjustable utility belt for all these tools.

With all these, your child should be able to practice his spying skills well! I think this fits a younger tween the best.

Groot Boombox

Many fans of the Guardians of The Galaxy movie regard Baby Groot as one of the beautiful things in Volume 2. And you can bet that many Groot-related toys and merchandise are going to be on top of the list of things fans would like to get for Christmas.

So first on the list is this speaker with a dancing Grootsitting on top of it. As your son plays his music, Groot dances with it too. It’s pretty cool.

Nintendo Switch

The Nintendo Switchcame out just before the summer season and sold out very quickly after launch.

And you can imagine that many kids want one for Christmas or their birthday, too! It is a great present for kids who are into their games, but as expected, it is more pricey than your usual present.

If you do buy this, remember that it doesn’t come with a starter game. So you will need to buy a game to go with it as well. We got the Zelda Breath of the Wild for the first game, and that’s a good game that many tween boys easily get into.

They’ve also just recently released Fortnite for Switch — much to my son’s extreme happiness.

If you look around, you’ll most likely find a gift set that includes the Nintendo Switch plus a game.

Tech/Electronics/Robotics Gifts For Tween Boys

At about this age, kids start to be interested in robotics and electronics. They’re also mentally prepared to learn about the many things involved in building robots. There are now a lot of electronics and robotic kits for beginners, that your main problem is choosing which one to get your kid.

Here are some of the popular kits right now.

4M Tin Can Robot

If your child has never built a robot before, the4M tin can robotis a good introductory kit for building one.

It’s very basic robot building that a 9-year-old can easily do. It also teaches them how to make robots by using trash.

The kit includes everything you need to hold the tin can in place and a motor with gear. You will need to provide the batteries (1AA) and the tin can.

Electronic Snap Circuits

Many boys at this age love to tinker with electronic things. And theelectronic snap circuits is one of the best toys where they can fully explore this hunger to learn more about electronics.

This is an award-winning toy where kids learn about circuits by following a lot of fun projects. All the parts snap on very easily together and it has an instruction manual that a child can easily follow.

littleBits Star Wars Droid Inventor Kit

littleBits makes some of the best electronic toys to help kids learn in a hands-on fun way. And their new toy, theStar Wars Droid inventor kit is one that many tweens could so easily do without adults help.

All the parts to making the Droid snaps together very easily and kids can easily follow them by themselves. They can even customize their own Droid to make it truly theirs.

Osmo Genius Kit

Kids can learn how to code, play tangram even race with hot wheels by actually having something in their hands to “fiddle” with.

Basically, a physical (real?) toy is connected to an ipad or iphone. So for example, if your child wants to learn how to code, she will have some actual physical blocks on her hand to “code” and these are all connected to the Osmo. It’s a very tactile way to learn something while still using an electronic device. The best of both worlds for the children of today.

Books and Gifts For Learning Something New

There are many things a boys of this age may want to learn, but two things that seem to really interests them are learning how to do magic and doing pranks.

Magic Show Showcase

There are over 100 magic tricks that a child can learn using the Ideal 100-trick magic show suitcase. It’s a suitcase full of magic tricks that kids can easily take with them to mesmerize family, classmates and friends.

It includes instructions in DVD form on how to do the magic tricks. Also the storage suitcase can also double as a table. This is everything your new magician needs.

Books

Sure it’s great to encourage kids to read classic books that develop their love for literature and life — but we know that at this age, many tween boys love to learn things they are interested in like electronics, magic, pranks and making life absolutely fun! Here are some books that my son loves which should make a great birthday present too!

Redmon Fun and Fitness Bike

I like many of these exercise equipment for kids that are just coming out in the market.

I prefer for my child to go outside and play and run like we used to do when we were kids. But I know that sometimes, this is not always feasible. So what do you do? You get them anexercise machine.

The balance ball above is an affordable way to get them to move their body. But if you want to take it a bit further, check out this Fitness bike for kids. And if you prefer, you can them an air walker or a treadmill instead.

Star Wars Power Wheels

If you plan to splurge on your gift for a tween boy this Christmas, have a look at Luke Skywalker’s Landspeeder.Made by Radio Flyer, it’s a very cool power wheel that looks very similar to the one in the movie.

It has an interactive dashboard for kids to feel like it’s just like the one in the movie, too. This is made for kids 4+ and has a maximum weight capacity of 130 lbs.

Self Propelling Drifting Scooter

The Star wars power wheels is pretty cool, but admittedly your tween will most likely not be making full use of it. However, he will like thisself propelling drifting scooterand will be using it a lot more when out and about with friends.

Made for kids 9+ (and adults can use it too!), this air push scooter can make them go at higher and faster speeds (oh dear me!), than the scooters they used to have when they were younger. This is a proper fun ride for adventurous kids.
